July 2019 Budget

---

I bought my ticket to Barcelona this month, all flight prices are up because of the summer season. Hiking in the mountains also was an expense, as I stayed at remote farms in private rooms. I ended up spending much of the second half of the month on a strict budget, eating sandwiches (delicious ones of course) and brewing my own coffee. Of course, I couldn’t resist the 50 cent ice cream in Mostar.

• Flight to Barcelona
  • I am going to visit my good friend I met in South Korea. A promise to visit will be kept.
• Hiking trip in Albania
  • Remote and not easy to get to – the Accursed Mountains are so worth it!

• Restaurants
  • Spending less than predicted, I ended up doing most of my own cooking this month. I was on a big budget.
